BACKGROUND OF ANIMAL STUDIES REGULATION AND ACT

Experimentation on animals in course of medical research and education is covered by provisions of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960 and Breeding and Experiments on Animals (Control & Supervision) Rules of 1998, 2001 and 2006 framed under the Act. These are enforced by the Committee for the Purpose of Control and Supervision of Experiments on Animals (CPCSEA), a statutory body under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960. Under these provisions, the concerned establishments are required to, constitute IAEC, get their Animal House Facilities inspected by the nominee recommended through CPCSEA and get registered as “CPCSEA approved Animal House Facility”, and also get specific projects for research approved by CPCSEA before commencing the research on animals. Further, breeding and trade of animals for such experimentation are also regulated under these Rules.

CPCSEA (COMMITTEE FOR THE PURPOSE OF CONTROL AND SUPERVISION ON EXPERIMENTS ON ANIMALS)

CPCSEA guidelines recommended under the provision of prevention of cruelty to Animal act 1960, to promote the humane care of animals used in biomedical and behavioral research and testing with the basic objective of providing specifications that will enhance animal well-being, to avoid unnecessary pain before, during and after experiments . Also to provide guidelines for housing, care, breeding, maintenance, and acceptable experimental procedures for anesthesia and euthanasia. This may tends to improve quality in the pursuit of advancement of biological knowledge that is relevant to humans and animals.

Institutional Animal Ethical Committee

The primary aim of the Institutional Animal Ethical Committee (IAEC) is to ensure that all animal care and experiments are conducted in accordance with the Purpose of Control and Supervision of Experiments on Animals (CPCSEA) guidelines under “ Breeding of an Experiment on Animals (Control and Supervision ) Rules 1998” (amended during 2001 and 2006). Institutional Animal Ethical Committee” constitutes group of members recognized and registered by the Committee for the purpose of control and supervision of experiments on animals performed in an establishment which is constituted and operated in accordance with procedures specified for the purpose by the CPCSEA.

House Facility

Animal Quarantine Room

Animal Housing Room

Albino rats White rat (Rattus norvegicus) is the commonest laboratory animal used in experimental pharmacology. Rats are easy to breed and maintain. Rats being small in size resemble men in several organ function and nutrition, and sensitive to most drugs.

Albino mouse-White mice are the smallest laboratory animals used. Mice are also easy to breed and maintain due to their small size they are easy to handle. They are sensitive to most of the drugs which are used in experimental pharmacology. Usually used in study of toxicity, bioassay, analgesic testing, CNS active drug and chemotherapeutic agents.

Rabbit- Inbreed rabbit are generally used for pyrogen testing. Some of the tissue or organs from rabbits are also used like heart, arota, duodenum and ileum.

Pharmacy education emphasizes on practical knowledge that supports the curriculum. To cater to this need, we have developed ten laboratories for various subjects of pharmaceutical sciences. To simulate industrial environment, laboratories are well equipped with technologically advanced equipment and sufficient glassware. Gas, water and electricity connections are provided at each workstation to ensure productive working environment with strong emphasis on safety of everyone.
